A cool thing I noticed about the ANH DVD and ROTS

    Remember when Obi-Wan saves Luke from the sand people in ANH? He made a strange scream that scared the sand people off. If you notice, that strange noise is actually the "squak" of the lizard creature that he rode around in ROTS on Utapau. It sounds exactly the same. It looks like Obi-Wan really liked that lizard thing. ;) :)

    If this is already talked about in another thread, I apologize but I just noticed it and I thought it was cool enough to share. I couldn't find any other threads about it using the search tool.

    The noise that Obi-Wan made in ANH was that of a native creature of Tatooine called a Krayt Dragon (that large skeleton in the sand dunes that 3PO passes was that of a Krayt Dragon).

    The creature that Obi-Wan rides in ROTS is what is called a "Budo".

    I noticed that also whern I came home from RotS and put ANH in.

    And nowhere in the films does it say it's a Krayt dragon sound.

    That's what it was before the dvd-release, yes.
    Now he imitates Boga.

    It is a Kryat dragon that he imitates in ANH...the sound of that animal frightens the very skittish sand people, but obi-wan says that they will return with greater numbers.

    It was the "boga". There is nothing in the films that indicates that it was a krayte dragon but the noise he made sounded EXACTLY like the boga in ROTS. 1+1=2

    Weell, anyone can make a mistake you know, especially about a brand new creature featured in a brand new film that's only just been released for one day. [face_plain] Freakin' stupid name anyway.

    I actually have a problem calling it/her by name. Galaxies "spoiled" me. I can only call it a varactyl.


    And before Monday, don't go further than saying "Obi-Wan rides a varactyl called Boga on Utapau". Even though that could still be viewed as a spoiler.

    I can see a small similarity. Not that much, but just a little. As was said before, there is nothing in the film that indicates either one but Obi-Wan hints to it being a Krayt Dragon.

    "It is a Krayt dragon that he imitates in ANH...

    I always wondered...where did the idea that he was making a Krayt-Dragon sound come from originally anyway? Was it mentioned in a novelization?

    Yes, in the novelization, Luke states that the sound Obi-Wan is making is a krayt dragon call.

    now that quite some time has passed and I have seen both RotS and ANH DVD a few times, I firmly say again that that call sounds nothing like a varactyl. They have a high pitch in common, that's it.

    and why on earth would he count on a Utapauan varactyl's cry to scare off Tusken Raiders... instead of a freaking huge native beast of horror, namely a Krayt Dragon.

    and the tiny bit of similarity between Boga and a Krayt could simply be because they're both dragon-creatures.


    Obi-Wan's call =/= Boga

    There is a faint similarity in the two sounds but the ANH sound Obi-Wan makes is to mimick a Krayt Dragon. The animal that Obi-Wan rides in ROTS is a Boga.

    Right just to clarufy a few things:

    In the Orginal ANH and SE version Obi Wan makes a 'noise' to scare off the Tuskens. A source (not sure where) has stated that it is him impersonating the call of a Krayt dragon.

    Now, in the DVD release this sound has DEFINTELY changed, there is no doubting that. I am of the opinion that it is teh sound of Boga, but seeing as it is Obi Wan impersonating it he does not get it exactly perfect hence the 2 do not sound exactly the same.

    In the original version obi-wan was imitating a krayt dragon but people thought it sounded too much like a dewback so they changed the sound. For some reason it now sounds like a boga, but i think its still supposed to be a krayt dragon.

    yeah it was a krayte dragon call... I hope I spelled that right. and I'm proud of myself for knowing that.

    The animal that Obi-Wan rides in RotS is not a boga, it's a varactyl. Its name, however, is Boga.

    I, at first, thought that Boga was a krayt dragon, because it would explain how Obi-Wan knows its call, but when I listened to the call in ANH, I couldn't hear any similarities.
